The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 714 0022, do not close the account at night

So, so, so and so, the innkeeper took a lot of effort to explain clearly to Zhao Zheng.The inn here is never closed, and no one is left on duty at the counter in the middle of the night.If someone comes to stay, just take off the room number plate at the counter.You can just check out when you leave the next day, and the situation Zhao Zheng said will not happen at all.

This time Zhao Zheng really didn't believe it, and he can't be blamed for being overwhelmed.There are too many strange things encountered today. First, the one who painted the ground was imprisoned, then the one who did not pick up lost things on the road, and now there is another one who does not close the door at night.

Zhao Zheng was very unconvinced and insisted on confronting the innkeeper.The commotion woke up both Zhao Dan and Xia Yufang. When they arrived on the first floor, Zhao Zheng was still arguing with the innkeeper.The innkeeper explained to Zhao Zheng in a good voice, but Zhao Zheng just didn't believe it.

If you don't believe me, you have to convince him. The innkeeper proposed a way.Now he asked someone to take Zhao Zheng out to see other inns in Taohua Town, not only inns but also other people's houses.Zhao Zheng can just look around and see if what he said is true.

Moreover, the innkeeper was pissed off by Zhao Zheng this time. Not only did he want Zhao Zheng to go door-to-door tonight, but he would also take Zhao Zheng to see something that would make him more knowledgeable tomorrow.

The innkeeper took Zhao Zheng out of the inn, followed by Zhao Dan and Xia Yufang, and Zhao Gao naturally followed Zhao Zheng.There are seven or eight inns on one street, all of which are the same as the one where Zhao Zheng lived.The door was open and there was no one on duty at the counter, which was basically the same situation as the inn where Zhao Zheng lived.

This is a commercial street, except for the inn, there are all kinds of shops, and the doors of the shops are all ajar.It opens with a push, and no shop door is locked.

Then go to the second street, which belongs to the residential area, and every house is open.The street where needles can be heard, the night where you can't see your fingers.Zhao Zheng and his party were walking on the street, and they were the only ones still on the street.There is a rule in Peach Blossom Town, the streets are brightly lit before midnight, and completely silent after midnight.

I believe that many people should know that Zishi refers to the time from eleven o'clock to one o'clock in the evening.In other words, when it was a little past twelve o'clock, Taohua Town completely fell into a deep sleep.Prior to this, all the streets of Taohua Town were lit with lanterns, not organized by the government, but by each household voluntarily.

Zhao Zheng really opened his eyes this time, but there was no strange expression on his face.With strides back to the inn, Zhao Dan and Xia Yufang returned to the inn not long after.By the time the two of them returned to the inn, Zhao Zheng had already apologized to the innkeeper.He had never encountered such a situation before, so he should apologize after knowing the truth of the matter.

Acknowledging mistakes can improve a lot, and Zhao Zheng is not the kind of person with a small belly, so how could he be stingy and offer an apology to others.But his apology didn't matter, the innkeeper was ashamed to criticize him again.But there is one more thing that the innkeeper must do, because he knows that Zhao Zheng is from Qin, so he hopes to let the people of Qin know what Zhao is like.

Early the next morning, Zhao Zheng and his party followed the innkeeper to the government office.The owner of the inn went to attend the trial. This case has happened for several days, but the official has not made a decision.

The case is like this, a woman surnamed Liu who lives in Taohua Town sued her son for being unfilial, and hoped that the official would make the decision for her.Immediately after the official received the case, he ordered someone to bring Zhang Wang, the son of the woman surnamed Liu, to the government office for questioning.

When the official asked, he was puzzled, only to see that Zhang Wangzhi, Shu Dali, was gentle and elegant, and he still had a reputation.He is a well-known honest man in Peach Blossom Town, with a kind heart. As everyone knows, apart from preparing for the exam, he spends all his spare time teaching the children in the town to read and write.

How could such a happy scholar be unfilial, but Zhang Wang himself admitted it when the official asked him.He said, since my mother said that I am not filial, I have nothing to say, please judge according to the laws of Zhao Guo.

Zhao Zheng frowned when he heard this. He grew up in Zhao country. Although he has never been in touch with Zhao country's laws, he seems to have heard that Zhao country has a heavy sentence for the crime of unfilial piety.

Zhao Zheng asked: "If the official is really sentenced for the crime of unfilial piety, what should Zhang Wang be guilty of?"

Before the innkeeper could speak, Zhao Dan who was at the side said softly: "According to the laws of Zhao State, if parents sue their children for being unfilial, they should be beheaded after verification!"

Zhao Zheng was startled when he heard the words, but he soon understood why the innkeeper brought him to the government office.The people of Zhao State place the most emphasis on filial piety, and the laws of Zhao State have the most serious crimes against those who are not filial.Whenever parents sue their children, they will be beheaded if they are verified to be true.

When we arrived at the government office, the gate was already overcrowded.Many people felt unworthy for Zhang Wang, and even many children were crying on the sidelines.Zhang Wang is their teacher, not only teaching them to read and write, but also teaching them how to behave.They are required to be benevolent, righteous, polite, wise and trustworthy. If it is windy and rainy, it is inconvenient for them to go to their husband's house for class, and the husband will go to their house to teach in the rain.

Children are the simplest, they don't have any utilitarianism, they only know whoever treats them well they will treat them well.Since the husband is so kind to them, they don't allow anyone to bully their husband.

The lord official sat high in the hall, and the government servants stood on both sides. With a mighty sound and a gavel, the crying children stopped crying immediately.The official asked Zhang Wang with a dark face, and ordered the woman surnamed Liu to be brought to court.

He will not close the case here, because the official has found new clues.There were originally only two parties involved in this case, but now the official has asked someone to bring a third person.

Someone recognized this person, it was Lao Wangtou who lived next door to Zhang Wang's house.He was not much older than Zhang Wang's mother. Zhang Wang's father died early, and he and his mother depended on each other since he was a child. At that time, Old Wang was addicted to gambling and was an annoying nuisance to everyone in Taohua Town.Anyone who sees him will run away, but he is not a bad person.

Since Zhang Wang obtained his fame in the examination, he often helped the old Wangtou.But he never imagined in his dreams, in fact, the old Wangtou had already fallen in love with his mother.

Old Wangtou was brought to the court, fell to his knees with a plop, and said a lot of tofu crackling in a bamboo tube.Naturally, what he said was exactly what the official wanted to know, but what he said annoyed the woman surnamed Liu who was kneeling beside her.The woman surnamed Liu suddenly got up and rushed towards the old Wang's head, grabbed the old Wang's head by the neck and refused to let go.

Four yamen servants stepped forward to stop them, and finally separated the two.It was the old Wangtou who reported and exposed it just now, and put all the responsibility on the woman surnamed Liu.He said that it was the woman surnamed Liu's idea to sue Zhang Wang, because the woman surnamed Liu was afraid that Zhang Wang would not agree with them being together, so she wanted the official to execute Zhang Wang, and then the two went away.

At this moment, the woman surnamed Liu also began to confess, and she put all the responsibility on the old Wangtou.The confession is just the opposite of the old Wang's head, the content is the same but the name has been changed.

Before they said a few words, the two wanted to fight again. The official ordered the Yamen servant to hold the two of them with wooden sticks, and then dug out the evidence he had collected.Saying that there is no solid evidence, the official has already prepared the evidence.

The official pronounced the sentence in court, beat the woman surnamed Liu and the old Wangtou to death, and then buried them together in the back mountain of Taohua town.

Old Wangtou and the woman surnamed Liu were dissatisfied, because there was such a rule in Zhao Guo's law.Parents sue their children for being unfilial, and if it is proved true, the children should be killed.Parents falsely accuse their children of being unfilial, verify the truth and criticize education.

The official has no right to sentence the two of them to death, because there is no such provision in Zhao Guo's laws.Seeing that the two of them died without repentance, the lord official took out a scroll and handed it to the yamen servant, and asked the yamen servant to send it to the two of them for review.

The old Wang just took a look and fell to his knees, while the woman surnamed Liu was crying loudly, saying that she was obsessed with ghosts, and hoped that the official would forgive him.

Zhao Zheng and others were so far away that they couldn't see what was written on the scroll.But Zhao Dan was very familiar with that scroll, she knew where it came from without even looking at it.

Ordinary people would not know that the scroll is actually used exclusively by the King Zhao's family.Most of them were used by King Zhao Guoguo to approve the memorial, and only a few words could be written on it.The courtier's memorial asks the monarch for approval, and whether it is approved or not is only a matter of a few words.

Old Wangtou and the lady surnamed Liu were indeed very arrogant, but they stopped being arrogant after reading that scroll.Because in the state of Zhao, there are not only laws but also the king, and the words of the king are the law.

Zhao Dan hummed a ditty and walked in front with Xia Yufang, Zhao Zheng and the innkeeper followed, Zhao Gao and several guards walked in the back.Today's events were more inspiring than yesterday's events, and today's events made them look at Zhao Guo with admiration.

In the past, they always heard people say that three people must have my teacher. It is not until today that they understand that the strength of a country must be inseparable from the people of this country.The height reached by the people of a country is enough to prove the height reached by the country.

Zhao Zheng didn't want to talk, especially after seeing Zhao Dan bouncing around, he was suffocated.He couldn't tell whether it was aggrieved or sullen, anyway, he couldn't tell.This kind of thing will not happen in Qin State, because Qin State has no such rules.It is useless to copy and copy, this kind of thing is simply not suitable for Qin.

However, Zhao Zheng can synthesize all the knowledge in his mind and combine all these things together.Don't seek the best but only seek the suitability. What suits Qin is the best.

Learning from each other's strengths is the kingly way, and Zhao Zheng feels much better when he thinks of this.But when he returned to the inn, he went straight to the room and told Zhao Gao that no one should disturb him.

Every time he encounters a problem, Zhao Zheng needs to put himself in a quiet environment.Only in this environment can we think about problems and come up with solutions to problems.

Peach Blossom Town has given Zhao Zheng a lot of inspiration, and he also hopes that one day Peach Blossom Town will appear in Qin.In other words, it's not hope, but he wants to work hard to let Qin have Peach Blossom Town.Although there is a long way to go, he is fully confident that he can do it.

Of course, the premise is that he can successfully take over the power of Qin.Since there was chaos in the Three Realms, there might be others like him.
